The Muskegon County Prosecutor’s Office is expected to authorize a felony warrant charging a nurse’s aide with abusing an elderly couple in their home.
The incident occurred Saturday in Muskegon Township.
Prosecutor Tony Tague said today that the 6-6, 220-pound aide urinated on an 81-year-old woman’s face. When her husband, also 81, told him to stop, the aide picked up a bottle of liquid and threatened to pour it over the man’s head.
The night before, during his regular shift, the aide threw food items around the kitchen for no apparent reason. He returned Saturday morning to clean up the mess but then allegedly abused the couple, a polic report said.
The aide was arrested Saturday at his Laketon Township home for assault and battery, a misdemeanor, and posted bond after being taken to the Muskegon County Jail.
